PitSnipe (Kyle): Wow, I have not heard of this issue. 15 hour job for a $50 part is nuts. Hopefully someone that knows of this issue will speak up.Yesterday at 12:42:16 PM

downs44: Got an 06 that just went through SMOD. Got everything replaced. Now my low oil pressure light is flickering on after the engine warms up and the truck is at idle. Doing some digging on the forums it looks like a common problem is the rear timing cover gallery gasket leaking and causes the symptoms. Looks like a 15 hour or so repair for a $50 part. Was wondering if anyone else has had this issue and any words of advise. To save some dialogue, the oil pressure sensor is about a year old and I changed the oil and filter after i noticed the light and that did not fix the issue.August 11, 2018, 05:31:19 PM

downs44: Hey! Newbie here. I met some of you guys at the F2GC event this weekend. I was with the mountain rescue group. Did not have my X up there due to some mechanical issues. I need some input and was wondering which forum I should put my questions in.August 08, 2018, 07:45:12 AM

This for me is not that there on there so much as why wasnt the info divulged on the thread the entire time the shirt was being designed? I get the contractual obligation and such mentioned above, it just seems we and/or the members were left in the dark on this one.

In the end not such a big deal, I see Marcin mentioned he changed the OP at some point but I know personally for me I dont continually look back at the OP (maybe others do but I guess not Ted either) after the thread is 9 pages long and the design is in throughout those pages. Anyways, I will take the shirt, it just seems like not all info was given up front.

Lesson learned, I will continually go back to the OP in the future to be better informed.

Honestly, I meant to give a heads up when I got the final proof, however we didn't get the final proof till today and we were supposed to receive delivery last Friday. Long story short, I forgot to mention it. I didn't see the sponsors as a big deal and I made the mistake of thinking no one else would as well. I am glad you have decided to keep the shirt, I think they look great, but like I said before, the offer for a refund remains open. I think everyone will be pleased when they see the final product.

We voted on almost every facet of the club sticker, but there was no mention of this contractual necessity of putting some of our sponsors on the shirt. Did I miss a separate thread on this? I don't check back everyday on every thread for inconspicuous updates.

I am not in favor of putting any additional logos on the club shirt - be it from one of the businesses that apparently pays us to be on the shirt, or a non-profit organization that we donate to. They indeed are extraneous: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/extraneous

Lesson learned for me: Don't preorder anything from this site. I'm not interested in getting my money back, but I am interested in having important communications passed on to the rest of the club - something like these "contractual obligations" is probably an important topic to mention to the supporting members...

Having members attempt to vote on every aspect of the shirt would of been cumbersome, if not impossible. My job, as president is to make decisions for the club that are in the club's best interest. It is my view that it is in the club's best interest to attract and retain sponsorship, and one of the ways that we due this is to include sponsorship on our t shirts, just as gonemoab and many other groups do. This is not something I started, this is something that was built into our sponsorship packet from previous administrations. If it was ignored by previous administrations, I can't really respond to that. So yes this was required, and yes I know the definition of the word extraneous. I have never been belittling to you and I don't understand why you have chosen to address me in this tone, but i don't appreciate it.

That said, nobody has been left out of the loop. We came up with a proposal of how the shirts would look, now we have the final print design, which includes all details, including the sponsorship. If you don't like it we will return your money, but this is the final design.

I apologize to you Hammer if you feel I was belittling you - that was not my intention at all. I have the upmost respect for you, and I value what you and the other officers do for the club.

The last 4 club shirts contained no sponsor graphics, so this new shirt with the recently added sponsor logos came as a surprise to me. It was viewed by me as something that was not needed - but I did not know that the club signed a contract that forces us to have the sponsor logos on our club merchandise.

I understand having sponsor logos on an event t-shirt - something like goneMoab, or CANVAZ, but I do not like the idea of having them on the club merchandise.

No need to refund my money. I've already paid for my shirts, and I will use them.

I appreciate the apology, we had never had any issues prior to this so maybe I need to more clearly define why it was done this way.

As far as I know, there has always been a level of sponsorship that included T shirt logos. Whether or not this club ever got that level of sponsorship from any of it's supporting vendors, I can not comment on, this year we did. Now, would AZXC get sued if it neglected to to what it promised by it's supporting vendors? Probably not, but when we send out a packet listing what a supporting vendor gets for a certain amount of donation, and then don't give them what they paid for, that makes us at the very least look bad. So, if a vendor pays extra to get their name on their shirts, and then doesn't get it, I can guarantee they wont spend that extra money next year. That said, my priority as president is to deliver on what we commit, both to our members and to our sponsors. That is why I am offering a refund to those that don't like them. I wouldn't appreciate a change being shoved down my throat so I am not going to do it to anyone else.

I am personally proud of these shirts because I think we went above and beyond what other clubs and groups have done. Our shirts are in full color, and higher quality materials than most of the groups. I even pushed to get our sponsorship logos in full color and frankly I think they will turn out great. I am glad you have decided to keep yours, and I hope when you get it you will be as happy as I am with them.

I don't think we can do a one off order right now, Marcin talked to the shirt place last so he would know. But I think the order window is closed. We would have to start putting together a round 2 order and that may take a little while to build up the quantity.
